简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug vericiguat works to improve right heart function in patients with worsening heart failure who have reduced left ventricular function. It will also examine the effects of the drug on tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and overall clinical outcomes.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does vericiguat improve right ventricular (RV) function and reduce tricuspid regurgitation (TR)? Does vericiguat reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), such as heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular death? Does vericiguat improve participants' exercise capacity, quality of life, and renal function?
Researchers have previously seen the benefits of vericiguat in the large-scale VICTORIA trial for worsening heart failure, and it is hypothesized that improvements in right heart function play a key role. This study aims to confirm these specific benefits.
Participants will:
Take vericiguat as prescribed during the study period. Undergo echocardiograms at enrollment and at 9 months to assess right heart function.
Complete questionnaires (KCCQ-12) and walking tests (6MWT) to evaluate quality of life and exercise capacity.
Provide blood samples to monitor NTproBNP levels and renal function (creatinine).
